My mother has a Jenn-Aire range with a downdraft fan between the 
burners.  Circa early 2000's.  It did not vent outside, I have no clue 
where it vented to... Maybe just behind the stove.  The concept of the 
fan seemed odd to me, especially on "high", it pulled heat down away 
from what's cooking above.  It almost pulls the flame out if the flame 
is low.
